Time Heals Peter Hammill
Thinking back, it seems t[Am]hat I can lie besid[Dm]e you like I neve[Am]r truly did[G]
In [F]afterglow - [G]no [Am]afterwords at all.
[Am]Only writing [F/A]love [Am]songs [F/A]when i[Am]t's g[G]one and dead
[F]only paying w[Dm/A]ords ou[F]t, str[Dm/A]ings of ha[F]lf-f[Em]orgotten sentiment.
[F]I [Em]mean...
[Em]Ime[F]ant...

I never really quite could say the way it was.
The [Am]first time that we met I thought 'I [F]bet that she's the one"
but I was [Esus4]talking to myself than, as [E7]alw[E]ays.
As [Am]time went by our steps entwined, un[F]written lines grew taut, and I
[Esus4]tried to find a way to make it a[E7]ll [E]safe.
I[Am]nto the play - w[G]hat a production!
I[F]nto the days and e[E]ver more suction
You [Am]hold me close, [G]hold me farther
a[F]way from yourself - I make me a m[E]artyr,
for [Am]pain and [G]love go [F]hand in [E]hand...
And h[Am]and in hand go you and my friend, you [F]are his and I am yours
and [Esus4]I just cannot e[E7]vade [E]you.
My d[Am]ays are dream, my nights unseemly, s[F]tolen moments all I live for,
but [Esus4]theft is no way to per[E7]suade [E]you
to [Am]come with me, le[G]ave him behind you,
my h[F]urtful eyes try to r[E]emind you,
it's[Am] all I can do to [G]keep on screaming
'I l[F]ove you, I love you!' - I wish I were d[E]reaming,
but the [Em]steps we [D]take all [C]leave [B]footprints.
[D]Soo[G/D]ner [D]or [G/D]late[D]r [D]the [G/D]whole [D]thing [G/D]will [D]be [D]blown
[A]You [D/A]will [A]leave [D/A]him [A]or [A]I'll [D/A]be l[A]eft [D/A]here, [A]al[A]one.
[D]Ei[G/D]ther [D]way [G/D]some[D]one [D]lo[G/D]ses [D]some[G/D]one
[G]I [C/D]don't [G]mind [C/G]that, [G]I [G]just [C/G]would [G]quite [G/G]like [G]to [A]know who we love the most,
but I guess that's our[A]selves.
The [Am]days are strange, at night we're stange[F]rs, lie in bed and lie inside
our [Esus4]heads, we come no closer than as d[E7]anc[E]ers.
Your e[Am]yes are change, your presence danger, w[F]on't look me in the eye and
yet you[Esus4] kiss, and make up the a[E7]nsw[E]er
to all the [Am]questions that lie unan[G]swered, unreasoned,
d[F]eath in the sky, de[E]ath in the season,
if [Am]you leave me now, it m[G]ight nearly kill me
R[F]emember me?
Remember we t[E]hree?
[Em]It all s[D]eemed [C]so important at th[B]e time
[Em]We came so c[D]lose to w[C]recking all our l[B]ives
[Em]And now it's a[D]ll just s[C]ong li[B]nes...
[Em]Time heal[D]s,[C] [B]
[Em]Time heal[D]s.[C]..[B]
[Em]oh, but I s[D]till [C]bear the [B]weals...
*here, the "em D C B" sequence drops down gradually, to "am G F E", first
the bass notes, then the whole chords*
Thinking [Am]back, it seems that[Dm] I can lie beside[Am] you as I never [G]truly did
In [F]afterglow - [G]no [Am]afterwords at all.
[Am]Only writing [F/A]love [Am]songs [F/A]when i[Am]t's g[G]one and dead
[F]only paying w[Dm/A]ords ou[F]t, str[Dm/A]ings of ha[F]lf-f[Em]orgotten sentiment.
[F]I [Em]mean...
[Em]Ime[F]ant...
[F]I [E]ne[F]ver [E]real[F]ly [B]quite [F]could [E]say [F]the [E]way [F]it [B]was.
